The Management of Babcock University wishes to alert prospective students, parents, guardians, and the general public to the activities of fraudsters who have cloned the University's website and created fake social media accounts to perpetrate admission scams.

As the 2026/2027 admission exercise progresses, these unscrupulous individuals are falsely presenting themselves as representatives of Babcock University, offering admission forms, admission slots, and purported admission letters in exchange for money. Their sole aim is to defraud unsuspecting candidates and their families.

Babcock University wishes to state unequivocally that these individuals are neither employees nor authorized representatives of the University. The public is therefore strongly advised to note the following:

1. Official Admission Portal

All applications for admission into Babcock University must be submitted exclusively through the University's official website: www.babcock.edu.ng. The University has not authorized any individual, agent, consultant, or third party to sell application forms or offer admission on its behalf.

2. Official Payment Channels

No payment relating to admission should be made into any personal bank account. All legitimate payments must be made only through the approved payment channels listed on the University's official website provided above.

3. Cost of Admission Forms

The general public must understand that the directive of the government across board is that All universities admissions forms in Nigeria shall not exceed N2,000. So anyone selling admissions forms above the cost of N2,000 is fraud, please avoid them.

4. Fraudulent Contacts

Members of the public are strongly advised to avoid all interactions and engagements with individuals using any of the following telephone numbers:

• 07047903330

• 07040964654

• 07014747173

• 09162993014

• 08039760472

• 09137461097

These numbers have been linked to fraudulent admission activities and should be reported to the appropriate security agencies whenever encountered.

The President/Vice-Chancellor, Professor Afolarin Olutunde Ojewole, on behalf of the University Administration, strongly condemns these criminal acts and expresses concern that some prospective students and parents have already fallen victim to these fraudulent schemes.

The University appreciates members of the public who have brought these fraudulent platforms and activities to our attention. Your vigilance and timely reports continue to help protect prospective students from exploitation.

If you have interacted with any suspicious website, social media account, or individual claiming to offer admission into Babcock University, or if you have made any payment outside the University's official channels, please report immediately through any of the following official contacts:

• dpo@babeock.edu.ng

• avp.cmb@babcock.edu.ng

•admissions@babcock.edu.ng

Babcock University remains firmly committed to transparency, integrity, and excellence in its admission processes. We urge all prospective students and parents to remain vigilant, verify information through official University chạnnels, and refuse to be deceived by fraudsters.

Do not allow scammers to steal your hard-earned money, your academic aspirations, or your future.

Signed

Babcock University Management
